The BRPS ( Bluebell Railway Preservation Society ) is actually a majority shareholder in the Bluebell Railway PLC, which runs the railway itself.

There are about 9,500 members of BRPS, and that's substantially more than the number of Albion season ticket holders.

But there would never likely be sufficient spare cash to offer a shirt sponsorship deal whilst we in the BRPS are still trying to re-open the line to East Grinstead.

Still the little matter of a cutting full of rubbish to be opened up I believe. Expensive.

A friend of mine is heavily into the BlueBell line and tells me that on the weekend of 13/14 May they are having a special weekend with everybody dressed up in wartime clothes I am not sure what the occassion is but I am hoping to take my grandchildren there.

Perhaps 34064 FighterCommand could give me the answer as to what it is all about.

I went 20 years ago, for my 5th birthday and fell asleep for the whole trip.

Any idea of the cost as it doesn't mention that on the website.

At first I thought what a wind up.

But then I remember seeing BoB Booker out at the Bluebell railway the day after the QPR away game

 

[Bigtomfu]

Wonderful entertainment as usual.

 

[Dave the OAP]

[Storer68]

Only way we are going to get a set of points for next season

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Top Class Easy.

I was hoping for something on these lines as our new sponsor. Good idea to stay local, no point(s) in getting above our station now - we can branch out further once we've got Falmer.

I stared at that for at least 15 minutes before spotting the railway puns and concluding that you were joking!

It's been a long day...

 

[Easy 10]

Tch. Everyone instantly assumes I'm LYING again. Can't snag anyone nowadays.

*sigh*

That my friend is a right touch

Planning permission was originally granted for the extension north to East Grinstead back in 1985, and many £ millions have been spent in the different project phases, initially to West Hoathly, then Kingscote, & finally on to East Grinstead. The cost of land purchase, clearance, bridge & tunnel re-building and track re-laying is considerable, even if the raw materials are ex BR surplus.

The removal of the rubbish from the Imberhorne cutting alone is expected to cost aroud £ 4,000,000 .

As for the Wartime re-enactments, they tend to be mainly for the military enthusiasts but do represent a major source of revenue to keep the railway running throughout the year.
